Good question, Cody.....one to which you will receive different answers.
Personally, to me it DOES NOT make sense to hold a STOPPED watch in your hand, unscrew the crown and start winding it.
Something like flogging a dead horse, if you get my gist!!
To me it makes more mechanical sense to get the damn thing going first by the "brandy like swirls" I described above, and THEN give the crown the 40 odd turns.
Once the watch is in MOTION, I think it's so much SAFER to wind. Surely 30+ years can't prove me wrong.
